Wednesday, July 18, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 21 LETTERS Continued from page 2 belongs to the USFS and must be bought from them. The alternatives are for some- one to donate a parcel to the city or to start a GoFundMe approach. Please go to the FB group “Sisters Dog Park Supporters” or “Community Watch of Sisters, BBR, Camp Sherman” if you are interested in furthering this project. It takes a village. Joellyn Loehr s s s To the Editor: Typically, July is a slower time of the year for a school district. At our last board meeting, Jeff Smith was nominated and approved to continue to be the Sisters School Board Chair. Jay Wilkins was nominated and approved to be the Board Vice-Chair. The various other committee assignments were established and assigned. I want to thank our board for the time and energy they put in to help make Sisters School District a great organization and cornerstone of the Sisters Community. We had an unusually long consent agenda, as we have been very busy hiring staff to replace those that have retired and/ or moved on from the Sisters School District. Although we will miss our colleagues that have moved on, we are very excited about the depth and the quality of the new staff that will be joining the Outlaw Family this fall. Finally, we have been very busy working on bond projects, with the largest project this summer being the remodel of our mid- dle school. This fall, not only will all of our schools have deferred maintenance upgrades, additionally, all of our schools will have double-door entry systems, card-lock doors, improved ADA access and cameras as advanced safety measures. We are also re-engaging in the conver- sation about a new transportation center (not located in the high school parking lot) to continue to move toward the long-term goal of centralizing our facilities on one campus. Curt Scholl Superintendent, Sisters School District s s s To the Editor: Once again, Mr. Rullman has inflamed the liberal residents of Sisters. It is no wonder that calls have been made, that his “Bunkhouse” does not suit the sen- sitive tastes of progressive and government party elements in our community. However, progress toward harmony has been made. The shunning of their politi- cal opponents will give the left an aura of theological superiority rather than the actual hatred of the Deplorables as represented by the Resistance. Now hopefully the government party elites will allow the fly-over country rubes to retain our flintlock muskets while they pursue an end to magazine violence. Larry Benson s s s PHOTO BY CRAIG F. EISENBEIS A non-maintained “user trail” leads from the Scott Trail to the summit of Four In One Cone. HIKE: Wilderness permits are required for this adventure Continued from page 17 miles and turn right (west) at the Scott Lake turnoff. There is a sign advising of the approaching turn, but there is an intervening turn- off, as well; so wait until you are abreast of the brown Scott Lake sign before turning off. Once off the highway, the Scott Trail parking lot is the next immediate right. This road also leads to nearby Scott Lake, which is a nice place for a refreshing swim after a long hike on a hot day. Almost the entire hike is within the Three Sisters Wilderness boundary, so wil- derness permits are required and are free at the trailhead kiosk. Always be prop- erly equipped for wilder- ness travel — particularly on a hike of this length and difficulty — and remem- ber that weather conditions can change rapidly in the mountains.
